Using the latest OGMA SDK

Software like NINA, SharpCap, and FireCapture use OGMA's SDK to integrate our cameras natively.

Occasionally, we release updates to the OGMA SDK. However, it may take some time for the developers of NINA, SharpCap, and FireCapture to release updated versions of their software containing our latest SDK.

In most cases, your camera will work without issues using an older version of the SDK. However, if you're using a newer camera and encounter problems, you may be able to resolve them by replacing the existing ogmacam.dll file in your software with the latest version.

You can download the latest DLL for your version of Windows here:

For NINA on x64 systems, you can find the ogmacam.dll file in the following directory:

C:\Program Files\N.I.N.A. - Nighttime Imaging 'N' Astronomy\External\x86\OGMA

Important:

  • Always back up the existing DLL file before replacing it. This ensures you can revert to the original version if needed.

  • After replacing the DLL file, unplug your camera and restart the software to ensure the changes take effect.
